Gift of Poetry

Poetry comes
Straight from within the heart.. time well spent
        Out of the love, joy and peace of mind
To share with others.. Given in time

        Someone.. Out of the blue
Comes along.. a try to trick you
Don't get tricked into Giving up  
all your Poetry Rights
        So watch what you sign

All your poems.. Could be theirs
Just.. Like it almost
         Happened to me

Someone.. who wants a profit 
            Getting paid
      Off of what you made
Taking control of..  over your writes.. displayed
Who knows.. what words.. can be changed 
             Or even they may be Rearranged

If you give up your rights
          Your thoughts given.. can be destroyed
Changing.. the True meaning 
          That you meant to say

My Poetry and  Yours
Comes from with-in-- Our Hearts of Souls
God gives us words in the minds to be told
It's like a-piece.. of me as so tis You
Out of Our hearts.. each day

Don't allow someone.. take it away
Each word is Given..  Precisely...
           Used wisely

God has given.. All of Us a Great gift
           The Gift of Poetry

Thinks about it.. think twice
Your Heart tis not for sale.. at any price
